kernfs: remove KERNFS_ACTIVE_REF and add kernfs_lockdep()
There currently are two mechanisms gating active ref lockdep annotations - KERNFS_LOCKDEP flag and KERNFS_ACTIVE_REF type mask. The former disables lockdep annotations in kernfs_get/put_active() while the latter disables all of kernfs_deactivate(). While KERNFS_ACTIVE_REF also behaves as an optimization to skip the deactivation step for non-file nodes, the benefit is marginal and it needlessly diverges code paths. Let's drop KERNFS_ACTIVE_REF. While at it, add a test helper kernfs_lockdep() to test KERNFS_LOCKDEP flag so that it's more convenient and the related code can be compiled out when not enabled. v2: Refreshed on top of ("kernfs: make kernfs_deactivate() honor KERNFS_LOCKDEP flag"). As the earlier patch already added KERNFS_LOCKDEP tests to kernfs_deactivate(), those additions are dropped from this patch and the existing ones are simply converted to kernfs_lockdep().
